Mom needs more caffine to keep up.

SNOWSHOES

Now that we have lived in MN for 14 years thought we should try some snow shoes. It was fun; you had to make sure you walk one foot over the other or you would be on the ground so fast.

The Nutcracker

excellent!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Can't believe we pulled this one off. The Daddy Daughter Dance was held in the Chisago Lakeside gym. We could not get in the gym til 3:30 --2 and 1/2 hours later they came in droves. Face-painting, magician, craft, DJ, photos and treats. The night was a sucess.

Madi helped serve the snacks.

Alison's golden birthday

Alison turned "8" on the Feb. 8th She had a littlest pet-shop birthday

All the girls got to make a bowl on the pottery wheel. Wasn't sure if they would want to get messy --WRONG they loved it.

Alison and Izzy get a new room

Thanks to Grampa, Alison and Izzy finally got a ceiling and a closet.

After many hours and a few garbage bags later. We have a complete room. Maybe we should go on "Renovation Realities" : )

Happy Birthday Isabel!!

Izzy turns '10" and gets her ears pierced.
She could hardly wait she was so excited.
